This article was deleted as an uncontested prod. I've restored it per a request at WP:REFUND. The original prod rationale was "No evidence of notability". I'm neutral at the moment. Ron Ritzman (talk) 12:42, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

  • Uncertain - it is possible that the firm is notable; but if it is, this article doesn't make the case. I know I'm the stereotype evialllll deletionist, but I don't want to kneejerk D on this one if they are actually notable and the original editor wasn't Wikicompetent enough to make it clear. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:04, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete, weakly. I looked at the Google News results. A venture capital firm, they have generated a prodigious number of press releases announcing that they've funded some startup or another. But looking through the first several pages, almost every one of them is a press release. The few genuinely independent stories I found had only incidental coverage, and were not about this firm.[http://www.masshightech.com/stories/2008/10/06/daily45-Seattle-execs-indicted-Sigma-Partners-stiffed.html][http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/service-erases-embarrassing-text-messages/story-fn3dxix6-1225839900496] There might be one in depth story in Business Week, but Google Books is not showing enough to tell.[http://books.google.com/books?id=ObBIAAAAYAAJ&q=%22Sigma+Partners%22+source:%22-newswire%22+source:%22-wire%22+source:%22-presswire%22+source:%22-PR%22+source:%22-release%22+source:%22-wikipedia%22&dq=%22Sigma+Partners%22+source:%22-newswire%22+source:%22-wire%22+source:%22-presswire%22+source:%22-PR%22+source:%22-release%22+source:%22-wikipedia%22&hl=en&ei=mz3ITL6XFY-p8AbVpqHHDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDsQ6AEwAw] - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:59, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

  • Delete per Smerdis. Vast majority of sources are regurgitated press releases and PR. Fails WP:GNG. SnottyWong communicate 23:31, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep A major newspaper interviews one of the guys working there about this group [http://www.boston.com/business/technology/innoeco/2010/07/the_davoli_file_venture_capita.html], doing a very detailed article. Other mentions of them are there as well, just sort through the Google news results. Dream Focus 09:46, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
